Didn’t even no he was on VAR duty yesterday for us but makes no difference to me tbh the offside yesterday is given as offside. Obviously i didn't agree but hey ho. Atkinson is just a terrible ref - i dont think he pro or against anyone the guy is just stubborn. I dont understand how he continually gets away with poor performances.
So hang on, VAR say they didn't overturn the referee's decision on red because the outcome means it was an uncontrolled challenge, even though Atkinson himself was giving a yellow until he saw what happened to Gomes? So okay, if a player goes in two-footed off the ground, but his opponent is un-injured, does that mean it's not even a booking because it DIDN'T result in an injury?
I wonder! Do you think the ref would have played the game all day until Everton scored if they hadn't scored sooner? Why was Toby IN Front of the scorer again!!!!? Anyway,Fergie would have liked it!
For the first time I have a real doubts about Pochettino. Eriksen should not be playing end of. He added nothing, absolutely nothing apart from one cross...that is simply unacceptable but very very predictable yet he constantly plays and it is like playing with 10 men. Moura should not have been on the pitch after 70 mins. His confidence is clearly shot and he was not holding the ball up or relieving the the pressure on the defence. Lo Celso is miles behind match fitness cos he gets5 minutes here and there and that is not what we need. Pochettino is not responsible for the sending off or the VAR decisions (even though 2 went in our favour) but he is responsible for Eriksen.
One thing about the Gomes injury is that Son was clearly in pieces afterwards, sort of like Peter Schmeichel after the Dave Busst injury, so if Twatkinson wasn't playing his usual game of "Look at me, I'm Mr Big Refereeing Man!" we should've subbed on Parrott as there was no way he could keep playing - but instead we couldn't do that as Atkinson thinks that cards are dependant on the severity of the petition injury rather than the intent of what caused it
I think a lot of us have doubts at the moment RCL. Pochettino has not been in this situation before and it appears he does not know what to do. It's actually fairly simple you have to make strong decisions and LOOK at what is actually happening on the pitch. Eriksen should be dropped NOW, and decisions like Sessognon 1 minute in a game like that is very unfair to the player. Taking off NDombele for lolCelso when surely we needed him on the pitch and we didn't need Eriksen. There! I have joined the negative ranks.Pochettino needs to learn fast when in a situaution like this the ONLY thing to do is MAKE CHANGES needed or not. Everyone has to see a reaction.
One gets caught up in the moment and one makes a desperate tackle to win the ball. Sometimes one wins,sometimes one doesn't!
I think Spurs trouble is they've always wanted to win games...= 2 Championships. While others have gone out to not lose...= many ,many ,Championships for (ssshh) you know who.
Thank God I got rid of BT Sports. Had it free for two years with my broadband but they wanted over £9 per month for it this year so I said no. They asked if there was anything they could do and I said they could ditch twatty Savage, stop Hoddle talking and just show his goals instead, send me red bull to stay awake through another Owen snooze fest and finally, tell Macmanamanamanmanamanamanamanaman to STFU about his Liverpool/Real Madrid days... the bloke said he would forward my suggestions on
I feel bad for Gomes and wish him a speedy recovery. It was a stupid tackle by Son, regardless of his intent, but the lad is clearly distraught by the outcome. The whole situation is extremely unfortunate and adequately sums up our season, so far. This is clearly going to be one to forget. As for Poch, I do wish people would stop judging him so harshly. He's having to deal with a situation that isn't his fault. I'm sure that he would have loved to have been shot of Ericksen and Rose in the Summer, and I am equally certain that he would wish all of the players to be fit. Also, is Poch to blame for the likes of Alli losing interest in the game? Or for Kane being so ineffective? I don't believe so. Would any other manager do better in these circumstances? Perhaps, or perhaps not. I think we need to get this season out of the way, even if we do manage to have a busy and decent January window. I think Poch deserves the chance to work with a squad of players who actually want to be at the club, and not to continually have his hands tied. The board needs to back him, not sack him.
It's so expensive but they have got all the European games. If my son didn't want it so much, I'd probably get rid - although it was great having it last season for those exciting CL games in the latter stages.
I agree with your sentiment and I don't want Poch sacked either BUT he must be the master of his own destiny, he must take the lead we do not want a victim as a manager. He can do things right now and he needs to do them.
Don't think Pullis managed Liverpool,United,City,Arsenal, Chelsea,......teams that put the shutters up or parked the bus and nipped a winning goal. Perhaps we need to take a leaf out of their books sometimes...….
